Sivaangi closed her laptop and stood up to leave home when her phone pinged with a message
Ak: veetuku poiradha, we r goin out for dinner
Sk: rendu perum veetla ennanu solrathu?
Ak: na already ni8 shift nu solten neeyum solli samalichiru, I'll pick u up in 15 mins
She closed the phone and left to washroom and washed her face. She touched up a little correcting her eyeliner and applied some gloss. Smiling to herself she opened her top two buttons and sighed happily when she received a text from him.
She hopped to his bike excitedly and stood in front as he pulled her closer
Ak: ena madam fresh ah irukinga?
Sk: aama en aal varaaru konja maachu pakra maari irukanumnu inge fresh aaiten, na ena ungala maariya to look good around the clock
Ashwin laughed and pinched her cheeks
Ak: en kutty ma epdi irundhalum enaku pidikum

They had a nice dinner and came out of the restaurant and got on their bike. Sivaangi asked Ashwin to stop in a bridge and jumped down.
Sk: konja dhooram nadakalam! Yaarume ila suthi, nallaruku
Ashwin smiled and switched off the bike pulling it with him.
Sivaangi was unusually quiet and Ashwin noticed her just gazing around without sparing him a look.
There was defenitely something on her mind as normally no matter what is going on, Sivaangi's attention will always be on him when he is near and nudged her softly.
Ak: oi! Ena aachu?
Sk: ena aachu?
Ak: ila etho iruke! En kuttyma ivlo neram en kanna paakama iruka maata
Sivaangi smiled at him sadly and looked into his eyes
Sk: enaku bike ota solli tharingala?
Ashwin looked at her suspiciously but then nodded, he knew she'll eventually talk to him about it so he thought of lifting her mood.
He got into the bike and asked her to sit in front to which she excitedly squealed and got in.
He thought her how to start the bike and let her handle the accelerator.
Ak: ma ma slow! Ne paatuku thiruva koodathu He caught her shoulders and pressed the break and changed gear. She bit her tongue and looked back at him making him knock her head
Ak: gavani
Sk: gavanichittu than mama iruken She said looking at him
Ak: apo ne gavanichite iru na otren
He chuckled and caught the handle in front of her and drove for a while as she rested back on his chest clutching his sleeves tightly. Sivaangi then drove for a while on the lonely road and clapped her hands when they reached the end of the bridge.
She saw an icecream vehicle and hopped down making Ashwin shake his head and follow her. She got two chocobars and sat in the bench pulling him with her.
Ashwin saw Sivaangi back to spacing out again and followed her gaze. She saw the icecream anna pat a small girl's cheek, probably his daughter as Sivaangi tightened her hold on Ashwin's arms and rested her head in his shoulders.
Sk: mama
Ak: sollu ma
Sk: ungaluku en appa yaaru nu theriyuma?
She asked not looking at him as Ashwin looked down at her tighteninghis eyebrows.
Ak: peru Joseph, ivlothan theriyum ne solra varaikum enaku theriyadhu un amma appa kalyanam pannikave ila nu
Sivaangi looked at him with teary eyes and answered back
Sk: neenga solra varaikum theriyadhu en appa per Joseph nu
Ashwin shut his eyes tightly and opened to look into hers which was shedding tears continuously now
Sk: thappu la, na care panna koodathu ipo enaku ena korachal enna mattume ulagam ah neneikra en amma irukanga ipo enaku oru kudumbam eh kadachuruku ellathukum mela
She turned and cupped his cheeks
Sk: ena kannukulla vachu paathuka vum paathugakavum neenga irukinga apram en mama inum ena ithu disturb pannuthu, y can't I stop my curiosity about him?
She shut her eyes in annoyance and pressed her forehead
Ak: because he's ur father! As simple as that
Sk: ila, avaru en appa ila ennikum appa va irundhadhilla! I.... I wanna hate him aana yaar ne theriyadha oruthar ah epdi verukurathu? Avara mulusa verukuradhu kaagavachu enaku avar yaarnu theriyanum
She sobbed looking down and Ashwin pulled her into his embrace, his heart broke looking at her like this and shattered realising she's been living with this for all these years
Sk: kalaila en colleague oruthar avar ponnuku cycle vaanga en kitta options kaamchitu irundharu.... avar kanla antha excitement paathu oru maari aairchu mama! Amma kalaila velaiku pona evening vara romba late aagum romba chinna vayasule thaniya iruka palagikiten aana cycle ota solli thara kooda yaarum illa..... suthi irukravanga lum en amma va en porappa romba thappa pesuvaanga athella kettu kettu valanthen inum sila per sonnathellam kettute iruku mama
She crushed his shirt as he pulled her more closer and let her cry it all out while his own eyes teared up
Sk: aana mama, antha appa kanla irundha adhe excitement unga kanlayum ipo therinjadu enaku bike otta solli tharumbodhu
She rested her chin in his torso and faced him
Sk: adhu podhum mama, enaku podhum She rubbed her nose in his shirt and hugged him when Ashwin cupped her cheeks and made her look at him.
Ak: ne unga appa va verupiyo ethupiyo athu un ishtam, ne unga appa va paakanumnu nenechita, mama atha nadhathuven un appa va un kannu munnadi niruthuven
She became too emotional and cried in his arms clutching his collors tightly and kissed his neck.
Ak: indha veetla raani maari vala vendiyava ma nee, thaniya irukanumnu unaku endha avasiyamum ila...... suthi irukravanga pesrathu unmayum ila. En kutty ma romba strong, ennikume avaloda only weakness naana mattum than irupen
He whispered the last part in her ears making her smile and nod her head cutely wiping her tears.
Sk: I love you
Ak: Love u too!
He kissed her forehead and nose and they got up to get back home.

They both stood in the entrance confused on why was all the lights on at this late hour and rushed in to find the whole family in the living room looking worked up.
Sivaangi was confused and looked back at Ashwin who stood there perplexed when she shook him. He gestured Sivaangi to look towards Rakshan's side and noticed him standing there with Sara holding her hands but what shook her was the bright yellow thread in her neck.
